lonely planet caribbean islands multi country guideThat being said, if your BMW has over 100,000 miles, it is time for a filter and fluid change. Keeping this fluid and filter serviced is absolutely imperative to ensuring a long service life. Turner Motorsport carries only BMW approved fluids that will have you shifting smoothly for years to come. The MTL can be used as a replacement for the factory MTF or MTF-LT2 used by BMW. Add MTL to older BMWs that have become tough to shift will restore shift smoothness. Many experts agree that this is best lubricant to use in BMW manual transmissions. Sold by the quart.Synthetic D4 ATF is suitable for use where Dexron III, Dexron II, or Mercon fluids are recommended. ATF D4 is similar to Red Line's MTL formula and can be used in many BMW manual transmissions where MTF or MTF-LT2 is called for. The D4 ATF provides significantly improved gear protection than most OEM oils. The balanced frictional characteristics provides smooth and consistent shifts for extended drain intervals. The superior stability compared to petroleum ATFs allows high-temperature operation without varnishing valves and clutches which leads to transmission failure. Features: Provides G-4 level gear protection (suitable for transmissions and transaxles, like the Corvette T-56). Provides smooth and consistent shifts. More stable than petroleum fluids; suitable for extended drain intervals. Does not varnish at high temperatures. Improved cold weather characteristics. Red Line 75W140 is a full synthetic high-performance gear oil that is an excellent substitute for expensive factory fluid and an upgrade over off-the-shelf economy fluid. Red Line thoroughly evaluates the manufacturer's recommendations and only makes a fluid recommendation if their own product meets or exceeds the original specification. In many cases the Red Line synthetic will outperform the factory supplied fluids. Red Line fluid is used in nearly all E46 M3, E92 M3, E60 M5 we service as well as the custom differentials that we sell.http://moiabolgaria.ru/fckeditorfiles/comcast-motorola-cable-box-user-manual.xml

Must be longer than 2 characters. To start viewing messages,I just wanted to make sure before i went out and tried to buy anything. I know that some manual transmissions do use ATF fluid but I just wanted to make sure since manuals just say special fluid from BMW. So far the consensus has been to use RedLine D4 ATF, since we are already at it, what kind of differential oil do you guys recommend? Thanks rayD4-ATF edit:sorry I posted 75w90 for some reason. Guess I was thinking about the diffPaintless Dent Removal Specialist I'm in the Bay Area btw if that makes a difference.They will most likely carry it.Am I long overdue to change mine. The car runs and shifts like new, although I do rarely experience a little difficulty engaging 1st gear from a dead stop. So, should I be changing mine out also, and if so.I use Red Line fluids, in the gallon jugs, and use the StaLube Fluid Pump. Seems to work fine for the DIY-er.Sometimes also from my Milpitas mechanic, Ramon at Bavarian Motorsport. Cheers, JimI change trans and diff each year. KenHave heard plenty of good things. Be sure to check their website to verify which fluid you need. It depends on what color the sticker on the passenger side of your tranny is. Some are green, some are yellow. Mine is yellow. Locally (in KC), RP is sold at Napa. Good luck.Have heard plenty of good things. Mine is yellow. Locally (in KC), RP is sold at Napa. Good luck. It was a while back, but I was pretty pleased with it.There isn't that many options and the sticker isn't that hard to find.Maybe 2-3 inches in length and 1-1.5 inches in height. Use your stock jack and some wood to get under your car.I'm in the Bay Area btw if that makes a difference.I used Castrol.

It's very important that the fluid in your transmission is at the proper level, or your transmission will experience significant wear. The synchro rings and sliders depend on a slick surface to match speeds when shifting. If your transmission is low on oil, the wear on these components will accelerate significantly and shifting the car will be more difficult. If your BMW is having problems shifting, check the level of the transmission oil. In addition, keeping the differential and its associated gears well lubricated should help increase your fuel mileage. The engine is a primary source of heat for the transmission, as the heat conducts and radiates through and around the points where the engine and transmission are mounted. The transmission creates heat itself as the gears and synchros turn within its case. Keeping the transmission fluid at its proper level helps to mitigate heat problems. Note that on some higher-performance BMW transmissions, there is an external transmission cooler that operates similarly to the engine cooler. Check your owner's manual for more details on the scheduled requirements for your BMW. This number is a rough estimate, and may vary depending upon the use of your 3 Series (track vs. street). There are many moving parts in the transmission, and they tend to drop microscopic metal particles into the tranny oil. Specifically, the synchro rings wear down each time you shift. While transmission bearings are not as sensitive as engine bearings, they can exhibit wear from these particles in the oil. To check the level of the transmission oil, remove the top filler plug on the side of the transmission (where you usually add fluid). When you have the plug removed, stick your finger inside the hole, angle it toward the ground, and see if you can feel any fluid. Do this when the car is cold and parked on level ground. If you can feel the fluid level with your finger, your fluid level is about right, or perhaps will need only a little topping off. If you plan to change the oil, remove the small plug on the bottom of the transmission case. Empty the transmission oil when the car is still warm, as it will drain easier. For this task, have a drain pan capable of handling at least 5 quarts of transmission oil. As you go, check the fluid in the pan for any unusual metal pieces or grit in the oil. Using a cotton swab or a paper towel, carefully clean out any black debris and particles present. Fortunately, this plug does not tend to leak (transmission oil is thicker than engine oil). If the plug does leak later on, however, you can always tighten it a little more. Now, add transmission oil to the case with a hand-operated oil pump. These pumps are available from most auto parts stores, and attach to the top of the plastic transmission-oil bottle. They work similarly to liquid soap dispensers. Pump the transmission case full of fluid until it just starts to run out the filler hole. It should take a little more than 1 quart to fill. Replace the filler plug and clean up the few drips that might have come out of the hole. Tighten the filler plug in a similar manner to the drain plug. If you have one of those semi-rare, four-wheel-drive 3 Series cars (like the 325ix), don't forget to change the fluid in the forward differential and center transfer case as well. However, for those BMW 3 Series owners wishing to have the best of everything for their cars, there is Swepco 201 multipurpose gear lube. This gear oil is excellent for transmissions, and many of our loyal Pelican Parts BMW and Porsche customers swear by it. Rumor has it that adding Swepco 201 will prolong transmission life and help to postpone a costly rebuild. While this can hardly be proven, a lot of our customers agree that Swepco 201 creates a difference they can feel while shifting.

Then recheck level, see if it needs to be topped up. - Nick at Pelican Parts Sometimes when i downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear it popped out of gear so i changed the fluid and now its harder to put in gear 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear 4th and 5th are going in like it shouldand the downshift from 3rd to 2nd still pops out to neutral. Any solution ?Possibly worn gear synchros or shift linkage. - Nick at Pelican Parts What can cause this? You can try a fluid service to see if it fixes it. You will likely need a new valve body. - Nick at Pelican Parts I see swepco but I'm in need of strict gl4 fluid for transmission which I see you guys carry Redline MTL but what should I use for the LSD. Thanks in advance But I can't find the part number what should that be? Give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need. - Nick at Pelican Parts I just want to ask, my computer box was burned and need to replace, i have here computer box with key and immobilizer but it is for manual gear, is this compatible ?, is my bmw would start?. Please advise. Thank you. Then they have to be coded. - Nick at Pelican Parts The fluid is located on the right side of the page.Can Swepco 201 be used to replace both the clutch and diff fluid? I think it can be used in the diff without issue, make sure to add the friction modifier if you have the limited slip diff. - Casey at Pelican Parts I have since fuxed the prop and replaced the circlips on the rod. The problem i have is that my gear stick is too losse and i cannot shift into gears 2 and 4. What might the problem be, do i need gear oil or something else? Inspect them for damage. - Nick at Pelican Parts I can't find any label on the pan. Can you pls advise filter, oil and quantity. Many thanks, mark Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.Plus there its no owners manual so how do I find out the right fluid for the tranny and differential. Thank you for any help you can provide! Then check the transmission ECM for fault codes. If the system is not working properly, a fault code will be set. This will be your best bet when diagnosing.And im wondering the same for Differential Fluid. Need some help! Thank you. Can there be a problem with that particular gear or does the tranny need to be rebuilt? If there is any grinding, that would also indicate that. - Nick at Pelican Parts I'm getting a crunch shifting from 4 to 3-but not 3 to 4, and not in any other gear. The crunch occurs at any speed from a crawl to high speeds. Any ideas? I checked the transmission for a sticker and it has a yellow sticker that reads MTF-TF-1 with the rest of the sticker after the one being ripped off. Do you have any suggestions as to what type of fluid I should use? You probably need: Fluid MTF-LT-1 75w-80You may have an issue in the shift linkage or transmission. - Nick at Pelican Parts I've read that the Swepco 203 is the go to oil for BMW's but I wanted to make sure i should use the 203 as some have said the 201 is better. Please help i dont not have the money to do a tranny swap. Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you find the right fluid.I live in NYC and I drive the car hard it's street stock car I drive in the winter snow whatever so where do I get swepco 203 you guys don't sell it. Also what is the right grade because some BMW mechanics like the older ones have said they never used w140 for those tranny's? Keep in Mind I have 200k miles so I need the best I can get I don't want to rebuilt or buy a new tranny like I said I'm very picki and want as much original as BMW made the car first place. Thanks in advance They can help you find the right fluid. - Nick at Pelican Parts My E30 has a ZF5 transmission. Also how many do I use for the Differential. Thanks They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.Any advice Grinding? You may have a worn synchro. - Nick at Pelican Parts I am not having clearance issue the 14mm allen will not go into plug. It will fit into the drain put will not fit into fill. It is as if the plug itself is smaller, thus the suggestion of tapping it into place. Hope this gives you better understanding of question. Thank you. JOB If it is not bit clearance, then the fill plug must have dirt inside of it. Try cleaning it out using a small flathead screwdriver.Or is it is short enough, omit the ratchet and use a wrench, like in this article:Doesn't make any sense to me but it's better to be safe. The manual transmission lacks an adaptive element. - Nick at Pelican Parts They can help you find the right part. No fluid is leaking. I have talked to a few techs at BMW and they told me when the trans heats up, the seals inside the slave expand and lose their ability to hold pressure. However, I changed the fluid to Royal Purple Synchromesh and I still have the problem. The trans heats up but nowhere near as bad as it was with the ATF fluid. And by heat up I mean the stick is too hot to touch sometimes, especially on a hot day. Do you think I should take it to the dealer for a service? You may just have a faulty part. It be worth replacing the slave cylinder to see if it helps. - Nick at Pelican Parts I would much appreciate any feedback, comments, or if known what the problem is. Thanks It shifts just fine when I turn the car off. It wont even pull out of gear while runnning.COnfirm the hydraulic system is working OK, if it is, the pressure plate or friction disc is likely worn out. - Nick at Pelican Parts I've got a 96 328i, manual trans, I had the clutch master and slave replaced when I got the car a few months back and since then, whenever the car heats up to normal temp or if its hot outside I lose my clutch pedal. I just bled the entire system and changed my trans fluid to Royal Purple. Only thing I can think of is bad slave cylinder?? It was not an OE part. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Look for signs of leaking at the master cylinder and the slave cylinder. Pull the boot back from slave cylinder and check for fluid. - Nick at Pelican Parts For about 9 months now I have had Swepco 201 in my car and observation is that this lube works well when the temperature is 55F plus or the car has to be at normal operating temperature. I will be replacing Swpeco 201 this Fall as this is a not a cold weather lube. We appreciate it. Is that a mis-print? Thanks! Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you find the right fluid. - Nick at Pelican Parts They can help you find the right part. I am in Missouri and my experience with this gear oil has not been great in cold weather. The gears were very hard to shift in cold weather and have to wait until the engine gets to operating temperature. Whatever fluid was on my car before Swepco 201 was better in cold weather. I will provide more feedback in Spring. We appreciate it. Along with a complete cooling system overhaul, I purchased Swepco 203 and installed in both the manual transmission as well as in the differential. Now in the mid of a very mild Bay Area Winter, I am NO longer experiencing the transmission coming out of gear but on the other hand, I am noticing stiffer shifting early in the morning.Automatic transmissions use hydraulic fluid. Swepco 201 is a lubricant for gears - these are two different things, very much so!I don't wanr a dead transmission in the next couple years. Thanks You can use it in your rear differential, but if you put it in your automatic transmission, it will be ruined. Automatic transmissions use hydraulic fluid. Swepco 201 is a lubricant for gears - these are two different things, very much so! - Wayne at Pelican Parts I did notice that my transmission oil is low. What do I add to it? I was wondering if you could please tell me the amount of diff oil I need to put into the new one. I think I have the right type of oil, but if you could suggest a kind that would help my car run better. I would appreciate that as well If the fluid is correct type and is full I would follow the advice of the pros.I have taken it to the Mechanic and after countless money spent and repairs, I was told I need a new transmission. I am wondering should I fix the transmission problem, or buy another car, with money that I don't have to spend right now. If I fix the problem, can I hold on to the car for a little while longer??? Please help. Then you need to ask your self if you really want to pay 450 a month for another 530, or a couple of grand to fix the trans. What kind of shape is the rest of the car in?A local import repair shop recommended I use Dexron III, so I did. All is operating good, but I still wonder if I have the correct fluid. Can you help? They can help you find the right part. They should be able to cross reference the part number you have.If i am at a stop and i let go of the break, it doesn't go forward on its own as it should.I just got this car not too long ago, but would changing the tranny oil help me at this point? We appreciate it. I replaced my transmission fluid with OEM fluid a couple weeks ago. I was under the car the other day and noticed the drain plug was moist. I thought it was just a freak thing. Decided to check it again and it was moist. I was told 44 Lbs of torque when tightening down but you guys say 37 which I believe u more. Any suggestions to stop the leak. Maybe new drain plug? 100,000 miles 3rd owner They can help you find the right part. Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you find the right part. Can anybody tell me from where is the tranny fluid comming to the Radiator. And where is the Re-fill plug to add fluid? Thanks I really appreciate it. Quick question though.I find this a little suspect. Can you clarify how many quarts would be needed for the trans and how many for the diff. I have a 97 328is with a 5-speed. Thanks! What do you think? We appreciate it. Just bought a new transmission from you guys last year and had it professionally installed. Noticed dripping of fluid. At the track last weekend, When hot and in nuetral Manual with clutch, I heard chatter. Less when cold. Could this be fluid level. Throwout bearing? Tracked well until end of day. Ran car harder and longer than most of the time with son that was not synroing the throttle when letting out clutch Any input? I guess BMW only thought the cars would make it to 100,000 miles and not beyond. See my thoughts here: - Wayne at Pelican Parts It's the same fluid to do the read dif, correct? Also. I was just wondering if you could help me out. My gears don't shift the smoothest and I would really like more out of it. Anything I can do to make it shift like the car is a little bit newer. It's mainly 1, 2, and 3rd. I understand that my car is 13 years old with 200k but is there any advice at all? THANKS! A lot of people recommend the Swepco 201 for older transmissions on older cars - seems to work magic for many. We sell it here on the site. - Wayne at Pelican Parts Would this be because of being low on transmission fluid? It's more likely that your transmission is beginning to wear out and will need replacing in the near future. Most of the time these issues end up resulting in some significant transmission repairs (unfortunately). - Wayne at Pelican Parts It has got around 95,000 miles on it, and the shifting is real good. I am the third owner, and don't believe that it has had a transmission fluid change.I was thinking of purchasing the transmission fluid from your site to avoid the mark ups. Cost is not an issue, which brand one would you recommend, and what quantity. Could you please advise. Also what brand and quantity of differential fluid would you recommend.I would get this job done at the dealer, but still I'm kind of apprehensive. Please advise. Thanks! I like Swepco 201 for these transmissions personally. - Wayne at Pelican Parts I just changed the LSD fluid to Swepco 201 and noticed you recommend it for manual gearboxes that use a much thinner fluid. A couple forums I frequent claim that the excess viscosity will cause problems, even some senior members that are usually spot on with their advice. Most recommend RP synchromesh. What are your thoughts on this, Thanks in advance, Rich Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you find the right part. Any ideas in quarts. I am also looking to change the differential fluids and will also need the same info. Of course, I will be buying all of my fluids, parts and toys from Pelican Parts. Thanks for the help and your book has paid for itself several times over.thank you is not enough. They can help you find the right part. What could be the problem? 2001 325XI with 62,000 miles. Had the 30K and 45K performed by the dealer. No problems shifting before change. I'm not sure what that is for your 4WD car, but it should be listed in your owner's manual too. - Wayne at Pelican Parts I filled the transmission with fluid, but my car was at an angle Jack Stands in the front. Now Im getting transmission fluid coming out of my bellhousing. Did I do something wrong? But, as you pointed out the car needs to be on level ground in order for this to be accurate. So, the solution is to get your car on level ground, get a catch bucket, and then open up the fill hole and let the excess oil drain out. Hope this helps. - Wayne at Pelican Parts Pelican Parts is not associated with Porsche Cars North America in any manner, except for a mutual appreciation and love of the cars.

The Bentley manual states 1.2 liters or 1.3 US quarts for the ZF tranny. Is that correct? Is my tranny still considered a ZF tranny. Thanks, ErikYes you need MTF fluid.Some of the research I have done seems to indicate 1.4 to 1.6 quarts.It's expensive because it's MTF and not ATF.It's expensive because it's MTF and not ATF. Of course I would have never considered that I might spill some.Were you trying to go back to the future. Some of the research I have done seems to indicate 1.4 to 1.6 quarts. Which kind should I use?Both are just fine, so take your pick.It's easier for the dealer to stock 1 type of fluid than 2. You can use ANY ATF for an E36m3 Redline D4ATF, or MTL, Royal Purple synchromax, Mobil 1 atf. It doesn't matter.as long as you change it every 30K miles. Buy 2 qts, and be done.Royal Purple Synchromax and Mobil 1 ATF are both good as well. In the end, as long as it's a quality synth, I think what kind is really trivial.BMW changed the spec from 75-90 to 75-140 for the same reasons as the change for the trans. I use Redline 75-140, but have also used Mobil1, and Valvoline.I prefer royal purple, or mobil 1 full synthetic.Digital Point modules: Sphinx-based search.
